What is the area of this circle given a radius of 2 in?

This is classic right triangle trig. The height of the hill is 78.4 which serves as the side opposite the reference angle of 23 degrees. The side we are looking for is the hypotenuse of that triangle. The trig ratio that relates the side opposite a reference angle to the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the sin ratio. Setting it up using our values:

$sin(23)=\frac{78.4}{x}$ , where x is the unknown length of the hypotenuse. Solving for x:

$x=\frac{78.4}{sin(23)}$

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode before entering this in. You will get a length of the hypotenuse as 200.649 feet, so choice A.

A. f(x) = l-2xl - 3 Domain: {1, 2, 3} Find the range

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Hello there!

We are given the function:

$\displaystyle \large{ f(x) = | - 2x| - 3} \\$

To find the range, we know that domain is the set of all x-values and also called 'input' while range is the set of all y-values and also called 'output'.

Basic Function - you add the input, you get the output. You add x-value in a function, you get y-value. You add domain, you get range.

So, we substitute x = 1,2 and 3 in the function.

x = 1

$\displaystyle \large{ f(1) = | - 2(1)| - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(1) = | - 2| - 3} \\$

Recall that any numbers in absolute value are always positive.

$\displaystyle \large{ f(1) = 2 - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(1) = - 1} \\$

x = 2

$\displaystyle \large{ f(2) = | - 2(2)| - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(2) = | - 4 | - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(2) = 4 - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(2) = 1}$

x = 3

$\displaystyle \large{ f(3) = | - 2(3)| - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(3) = | - 6| - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(3) = 6 - 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{ f(3) = 3}$
